[[File:Hhfromljubljana.jpeg|right|thumb|334px|Hitchhiking spot for direction: Kranj]]Direction north-west there is the motorway E61/A2 towards [[Kranj]] through the Karawanken Tunnel (Slovenian: ''Predor Karavanke'') or over the pass over the border to [[Villach]] (slov.: ''Beljak'') in [[Austria]] and further on on the Tauern-motorway to [[Salzburg]] and over to [[Germany]]. It is the way that is used by most of those numerous Germans that go to the [[Croatia]]n Croatian coast for hollidays.

This motorway E61/A2 starts from the Ljubljana bypass. The best way to join this motorway is from the street Celovška cesta, at the bus stop Šentvid (stand in the corner before the bus stop!!). Get there by bus number 1 (direction Vižmarje), 25 (dir. Medvode), or 8 (dir. Gameljne) from the city centre. If people who pick you up don't go as far as you like, you can get a lift as far as the first "Petrol" gas station on the highway (17km away) or the former toll station Torovo and keep hitchhiking there. There is also a petrol station at the Radovljica-exit (right before Bled) which is useful for getting into Austria. Another option is to get dropped at ~25km from Šentvid, there's a great hitchhiking spot [https://goo.gl/maps/d4kMoNHzbEYPRT9d7 here] on a ramp where there's enough room for a car to stop (GPS 46.267470, 14.339623).

If your destination is [[Venice]] or furtherFrom the city centre (Dunajska cesta, Slovenska cesta) take the easiest way is via Nova Gorica bus number 6, 1, 1D (direction Dolgi most) or 6B (town on the walkable distance from [[Gorizia]]dir. Notranje gorice): use sign GO and ask , to bus stop "Dolgi Most". You will be dropped at the service area off on the bordera large parking lot right next to a motorway bridge. For [[Trieste]] There is also a Bicike(lj) (bike rental) station nearby, if you prefer it doesn't work well with TS sign - best option might be to use [[Koper|KP]] sign and then ask taking the driver to drop you off at Kozina exit (go right in the crossroads after toll booths)bus. It's only 3 km from On the border and on opposite side of the main Rijeka-Trieste road. [[Sežana]] , there is a town close to Trieste as wellbusy motorway entrance with a great hitchhiking spot where cars can easily see you and stop safely.

If your destination is [[Rijeka]]April 2024: Unfortunately, take also rides going to [[Postojna]] or further west. Get out at Postojna exit and from there walk across after the highway (use reconstruction the bridge). There is entrance doesn't make such a good hitchhiking spot anymore. Hitchhiking is still possible, but stopping has became much more difficult for drivers. The Barje rest stop is recommended instead, or try to hitchhike southwards just few hundred meters after get a pick from the bridgePetrol gas pump on Tržaška cesta.

Service area "Barje", in direction of Zagreb. This service area is on the Ring around Ljubljana and is * [[User:MartinJ888|MartinJ888]] August 2022: Works very well-served by a lot of long-distance drivers. To get there take bus number 1 or 1B in direction Mestni Log from the center. Go off one stop before last, called "Koprska". Continue straight (the bus takes a turn just before the stop "Koprska" - don't follow it, go straight onThe door is still unlocked!) on the street Cesta V Mestni Log, after 2 minutes you will cross a bridge over a small river. Continue straight and cross the motorway over the bridge, and on the left side the service area is Took us about 500 m away. There is a golf course between you and the service area, which you can cross by climbing its fences (not too high) if the personal allows you, which hasn't always been the case. If they don't, you should take an immediate left directly after crossing the highway (you're still on the bridge at that point), descending 1 hour to the guardrail. You are now between the golf course's fence and the highway, which is quite get a narrow path at some points. After a few hundred metresride, you'll get to the resting areaasking people.

Another way to get Ljubljana is a very walkable and cyclable city, so those two are best options to move around. I highly recommend the same gas station is to take bus lines 1 or 1bB bike share system '''Bicike(lj)''', used daily by many locals. It costs only 1€ for a weekly subscription (and stop at Tbilisijska3€ for the whole year). Keep walking straight on You can use the direction bikes unlimitedly 24/7, the bus 1st hour of every use is going free. Definitely the cheapest and soon turn left at most comfortable option, download the first street, Cesta Dveh CesarevBicikeLJ app for use. After about 300 meter by feet you'll start to see Another option is taking the gas station some 50 meters away busses, payment is possible on the right side, bus with some gardens in betweena credit card - one 90 min ride costs 1. You can either pass trough one 3€. In case of credit card payment changing the gardens and climb busses is not possible (every change will cost another 1.3€). Another option is to use the fence, app Urbana or walk few hundred meters longer to find a convenient passage through buying the fencecity card.

Go there during daylight and the ones that do usually do not enter the motorway here - this on-ramp mostly serves inter-urban traffic, so you might have plan in enough time to wait find a lot of timesuitable spot. From If you go until the city centre (Slovenska cesta, bus stop "Pošta") take bus line 3 in direction bag side of "Rudnik" the park (southjust before the forest starts), and get off at the final stop.
